Congratulations goes to our 112th Abroad101 Student of the Week winner, Rachel Cummings<\/strong>! Rachel, a junior at the University of Louisville in Kentucky is majoring in Public Health, a subject that she is fascinated about. In addition to her major\u00a0Rachel is also minoring in Global Public Health. She is a dedicated student and believes that you should always take the opportunities that are given to you.<\/p>\n

Rachel\u00a0will\u00a0Study Abroad in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, at the Veritas University. \u00a0This Study Abroad program\u00a0will be a five week trip\u00a0and include a homestay.\u00a0As a Public Health major, Rachel\u00a0believes that it is\u00a0very important to know a foreign language because a lot of public health work is done overseas. She thinks that to get an education in both Spanish and Global Health will be incredibly useful, and will give her a comparative advantage for her future career!<\/p>\n

Rachel started her fundraising Mission\u00a0and will use the funds to pay for the tuition abroad and the travel costs.<\/p>\n

Grace W<\/strong>, is our 113th Abroad101 Student of the Week winner! Currently pursuing her master degree in Public Health at Georgia State University, in Atlanta, she is a people person and really enjoys helping others. Even though Grace has\u00a0always wanted to, she\u00a0never had the chance to study abroad during her undergraduate studies, and she always regretted it. However, now there is\u00a0the unique chance to go Study Abroad in Brazil with her Master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

Grace understands\u00a0that as a Public Health major she needs to be informed and exposed to current public health issues from a global perspective and this trip to the city of Salvador will provide her with the unique chance of gaining academic and professional knowledge . Health issues are\u00a0a global phenomena, therefore, health issues that affect others indirectly affect everybody else too. By getting a global exposure, she believes that she will be able to better serve her community in the long term.<\/p>\n

We wish Grace\u00a0all the best in Brazil\u00a0and hope that she will have a life changing experience there!<\/p>\n

Tiffany has received many\u00a0honors\u00a0including the Dean\u2019s List\u00a0and the President\u2019s List during her 4th year. She also succeeded in accomplishing volunteer work, extracurricular activities, a number\u00a0of several clubs and societies\u00a0and still managed to keep\u00a0an impressive 3.9 GPA. Tiffany is driven by the purpose of making a positive difference in this world. She wants to help people, inspire them, she wants to have an impact and leave a legacy. With this in mind she has chosen to Study Abroad in Northern Ireland\u00a0for a\u00a0unique program learning about the historical roots of the three-decade long conflict called the Troubles.<\/p>\n

Tiffany likes to plan ahead of time and therefore, she will most likely be working as a master\u2019s practicing social worker when she comes back from her trip. Her long term goal is to be working with community agencies that work to help strengthen communities.<\/p>\n
